We've counted almost three out of every four Minnesotans, give or take.
It's three out of four if you're filling out the 2020 census form in a county like Hennepin or Goodhue or Ramsey or Rock.
If you're in the Arrowhead or up by Lake of the Woods, it's more like one out of three.
We've counted half of Pine County, half of Crow Wing. Five percent of the Red Lake Nation.
There's still time to make sure everyone counts. But we're halfway through this endless plague year and the first census takers just headed out to knock on doors.
There's still time. Just ... not as much as we had before the White House decided to wrap the count up a month early.
Census takers, hired from the communities where they'll be door knocking, have until Sept. 30. That's a month and a half to persuade their neighbors fill out a five-minute form that could determine whether Minnesota loses a seat in Congress.
The economy is in a tailspin. George Floyd is dead and he shouldn't be.
